Daily Digestion of the World

David Bowie had been singing about his death since he incorporated Jacques Brel’s incomparable ‘My Death’ into his first self-destruction – that of his alter-ego Ziggy Stardust – who passed from this world into the realm of myth at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1973.

Since that time, many other reflections of Bowie have also bitten the dust – Aladdin Sane and the Thin White Duke, among others – while even earlier incarnations such as Major Tom were resurrected (albeit in a new life as a junkie) in ‘Ashes to Ashes’ in 1980.
